Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having pelvic pain now for a month. I recently went to family doctor. I had a hernia check with they did not feel anything unusal. Said it was not from a pulled muscle. I was refered to a general surgen. Another 20 days to wait. The pain I am and have been having is a dual to medium pain in my groin area. I have a feeling of stiffness in my upper right thigh. There is also pain in my scrotum area. A feeling of a tugging on testicles (both testicles). Sometimes sharp pain in lower groin area. The pain can last anywhere from a few minutes to a while. I typically have it everyday or every other day. No pain when going to bathroom. I am sexually active but no pain with errection or when ejackulating. I have moderate IBS but was told it is more than likely not from that. I getting anxious and worried that it could be something major. I to tend to worry alot about health problems. I just looking for possible answers or suggestions i could bring up to general surgen when I go see him. Thanks
Hi. The surgeon will probably exclude the usual groin hernias - direct and indirect hernias. We also have what is called Gilmore's or Sportsmen hernia which is at the back of the inguinal canal and may not present with the usual bulge that inguinal ones have. Just ask the doctor to exclude that as well. Management is usually repair of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal.Good luck.
